The American Legion was founded in 1919 in Paris,
France, at the close of World War I. The
organization now includes veterans of World War II,
Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon/Grenada periods, Operation
Just Cause in Panama, Desert Storm, Enduring
Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Global War On
Terror.

The American Legion,
since its founding, has endeavored to assist
veterans, their widows and children, and their
fellow citizens. The North Carolina American Legion,
with over 40,000 paid members, are proud to carry on
this tradition. We invite you to join us and help
support Americas Veterans.
